Currently listening to the series of interviews by David Cayley that essentially functions as the outline of an unwritten final Illich book. It feels very relevant to the difficulties that the church is experiencing in its failure to respond to the present crisis. Are you familiar with it?

Already mentioned this on Twitter, but vis a vis the "Everyone is sick" situation, a Brothers Grimm story called Clever Elsie is about a woman, Elsie, who goes crazy due to a Chicken Little/safetyism complex. It is a short fable for our time. One translation is available at https://www.gutenberg.org/files/2591/2591-h/2591-h.htm#link2H_4_0035
